Questions and Answers (02)
Hi, bit confusing. It says in the q&a you can stay 30 days. It also says with touist visa you can stay up to 90 days? Belgian citizen
@Marijke Renneboog, the QA may have been posted before the new 90-day visa policy. For now, you can apply for a 3-month visa with your Belgian passport.
A quick question regarding VOA or E-Visa for a Belgium passport holder. Last year (2022) it was not possible to enter Vietnam twice within 1 month, even if you apply for two separate e-visas. Is this still the case now? If I would like to go to Dalat for a running event on 4 August, and leave Vietnam afterwards again on 6 or 7 August. But on 27 August I would like to return to Vietnam for another running event in Ninh Binh on 1/2 September. Is this possible? Can I apply for an e-visa for the first Dalat weekend, and then apply for an e-visa again for the Ninh Binh weekend, or is it not possible because less than 1 month between the 2 trips?
@Kris Van de Velde, Multiple entry visa is still unavailable for now, however, there may be changes in upcoming months. If you do not travel until August, then please wait for further updates.
